Application iiled May 23, 1904. Serial No. 209,424.

This invention relates to improvements-in ireextinguishers, and more particularly to a portablechemi'caliire pailor vessel.

(')neof the-objects of` the-invention is the provision` of` means for supporting chemicals uponv a receptaclegthe chemicals are lcapableofl being depositedin the receptacle when the same is infuse.

Another object of the inventionisthe conf structionof a receptaclewhereby .the samemay support a; chemical-containing recep-.l

tac e.

Afurther object of the invention isthe provisioniof means for carryingareceptacle upon aiire-pail ori any similar vessel, whereby. the contentsof the receptacle willbe deposited inthe ail whenthe-handle is lifted fromits.-

norma .position- VVi-ththese` and. other. objects in view the invention consists of certain other novelconstructions, combina-tions, and arrangeilents i ofygparts, aswill. be hereinafter-fullydesoriloedA illustrated in, the accompanying drawings,

andv more particularly pointed out inthe claims hereto appended.

inthe-drawings, Figure l isa viewA inside elevation: ofa device constructed inaccordance with the present invention, showing the parts. in;theirnormal position. Fig. 2 isa top plan view ofthe device depicted in Fig. -1.

Fig. Sis a fragmentary sectional-view 'of the primary receptacleand a fragmentary side 4o view. of the auxiliary'or chemical-containing receptacle. Fig. 4 is aview similartoFig. l, except the handle is inra; raised position and the bottom ofthe auxiliaryreceptacleis open. Referring to the drawings7 F designates the primary or liquid-containing receptacle constituting the fire-pail. The primary receptacle or pail F is provided with ears J J. Pivotally mounted upon ears J is a handle or bail D7 which is provided with a weight E, constituting a grip. The weight E will normally retain the handle D in a horizontal position, Figs. 1 and 2. The portions of the handle D extending through the ears J terminate in substantially parallel rearwardly-ex- 5 5 tending portions d. The portions d of the handle extends near tov the side of the pri.- mary receptacle or pail F.

The auxiliary or chemicalecontaining re` ceptacle A is supported upon-thefprimary receptacle or pail F through the medium` ofo substantially parallel vertical membersxB, secured by any suitable means tothe sideoff the receptacle or pail-F. The'vertical memfy bers B are provided upon, their inner facen with parallel extensions H, producing grooves 65y or guideways H upon the ver-tical members The auxiliary receptacle A is. provided with sides and ends. Ahingedlido-isposi.- .tioned uponthe sidesand. ends. A movable lbottoml C is hinged toone of thesidesby 7p.

means of strapshingel.1 The strapfhingeliis. preferably securedgto the sid-cof the ,auxiliary receptacle A which isnearestj to the center ot the primary receptacleor. pail F, so that the hingedbottom C may swingtoward the een? 75. ;terol' the receptacle Fwhen the same is moved- Ito its open position, Fig. 4. The auxiliary receptacle is provided at,each endwith ahori-y szongtal tongue or extension G. The tongues-orl extensions Gare positioned within the grooves. 8e` QH when the auxiliaryy receptacleJ is secured; upon the primary receptacle.

The'handle D. may be swungtoa horizon?.

g tal position uponopposi-te sidesof the ears J but. itis preferable to .move the handle'tothe 85;k rposition shownin Figs. l.v and Zior; the purposei` ,fof placing the parallel.extensionscid-beneath the hinged iioorf ori bottom` for. holding said bottoim inl a closed position, Fig. 1;. VV-.henA

the weightedhandle -is in the position shown 9pk in Figs. l l and 2., yits rearward extensions. (Ziel, vwill retain the bottom. snugly against; the sides of the endsof the auxiliaryfreceptaele, and thereby prevent any powdered chem?. ioals from being depositedfin the primary re- 9 5 `ceptacle-or pail F until. the handle isliffted, Fig. 4. Assoon asvthe handle is lifted toa vertical position the bottom. orl floor C will swing downwardly and permit the powdered chemicals, which may be deposited in the roo auxiliary receptacle, to be discharged into the primary receptacle F, and consequently if any liquid-as, for instance, waterv-is in the receptacle F said chemicals will be dissolved in said liquid, and the same may be at once used for extinguishing fire, if itis desired.

It will be noted that the auxiliary recepta cle can be moved longitudinally for sliding it into its normal position upon thevertical ex- 1 1.o

tensions formed upon the primary receptacle or pail F. The vertical extensions or su ports B, the tongues G, and the ends oi tle auxiliary receptacle A are segmental or curved Jfor conforming to the shape of that portion of the primary receptacle or pail F, upon which they are supported. The auxiliary receptacle is moved to its normal position upon the primary receptacle from near the center of said primary receptacle to the rear or outer ends of the vertical extensions B,for the reason that owing to the segmental or curved structure of said members B said auxiliary receptacle could not be positioned between the same from the outer side'of the primary receptacle, but must be ositioned between said members.l B by s iding the tongues G within the-grooves H by an outward movement with respect to the center of the primary receptacle F.

What I claim is- 1. A device of the character described, comprising a primary receptacle provided with grooved means, an auxiliary receptacle provided with tenons engaging the grooved means of said primary receptacle, a weighted handle carried by said primary receptacle and provided with a rearward extension, said auxiliary receptacle provided with a hinged bottom, the extension of said handle adapted to engage said bottom and hold the same in a closed position.

i 2y. lA device of the character described, comprising a primary receptacle, a weighted handle provided with a rearward extension pivotally mounted upon said receptacle, a removable, auxiliary receptacle provided With a hinged bottom, carried by said primary receptacle, the rearward extension of said handle adapted to engage the horizontal bottom of said auxiliary receptacle for normally retaining the same in a closed position.

3. A device of the character described, comprising a primary receptacle, vertical, segmental members carried by said primary receptacle, each of said segmental members provided with a groove, a handle pivotally mounted upon said primary receptacle, a Weight, constituting a grip, carried by said handle, said handle provided with a rearward extension, an auxiliaryreceptacle provided with a hinged top and bottom, tongues carried by the ends of said auxiliary receptacle, the

tongues adapted to be positioned within the grooves of said segmental members for securing said auxiliaryreceptacle upon the primary receptacle, and the rearward extension of said handle adapted to normally hold the hinged bottom of said auxiliary receptacle in a closed position.

4. A device of the character described, comprising a primary receptacle, an auxiliary receptacle carried by said primary receptacle, said auxiliary receptacle rovided with a hinged portion, and a hand e carried by said primary receptacle adapted to engage said hinged portion for normally securing it in a closed position, said handle comprising a main body provided with integral, substantially parallel extensions, and a weight constituting a grip carried by said body.

5. A device of the character described,

comprising a primary receptacle, a handle se- A cured to said receptacle and by which the same is adapted to be handled, said handle provided with a rearward extension, an auxiliary receptacle supported upon said primary receptacle, and a hinged member carried by said auxiliary receptacle, the rearward extension of said handle adapted to normally hold said hinged member in a iixed position,

6. A device of the character described, comprising a primary receptacle, a handle secured to opposite sides of said receptacle, said handle provided with an extension, an auxiliary receptacle provided with a movable bottom carried by said auxiliary receptacle, said bottom adapted to be normally retained in its closed position by means of said extension of the handle.

7. A device of the character described, comprising a primary receptacle, a bail-handle provided with an extension carried by said primary receptacle, an auxiliary receptacle carried by said primary receptacle, and a movable closing member carried by said auxiliary receptacle, the extension of said handle adapted to engage said movable, closing member and normally hold the same in a closed position.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence. of two witnesses.
